Missile Defense

Defense at Home and Abroad

Boeing’s missile defense capabilities provide defensive and strategic systems that protect the homeland and deployed forces. Key programs include Ground-Based Midcourse Defense for homeland defense, and a family of Laser & Electro-Optical Systems.

Boeing’s systems within the Integrated Air & Missile Defense portfolio include Arrow 3, which offers regional missile defense capabilities to provide an effective response to short and medium-range ballistic missiles and Avenger, the United States Army’s line of sight, mobile, shoot-on-the-move, short range air defense system. Boeing also produces the Missile Seeker for PAC-3 that uses hit-to-kill technology to defeat the entire spectrum of tactical ballistic missile cruise missiles and hostile aircraft.
